Happy Swatch Spam Sunday! I know this is only the second Swatch Spam Sunday I have done but I really do tend to push back planned swatch spams for posts with newer things. I can definitely plan to do more Swatch Spam Sundays (and on a regular basis) if you are interested. Just let me know.
Today I thought it would be fun to break out some of the old Femme Fatale Cosmetics polishes. I absolutely love the old style bottles and polishes that Femme Fatale did which is why I collected the brand for so long. This is actually the first month that I haven't purchased a single Femme Fatale polish. What? Yep. There was a couple that I really liked but the bottles were so limited that I just couldn't be bothered even trying for them. I was also interested in the COTM but I couldn't justify the price of postage for one bottle so I got none. Anyway, I'm getting side tracked. Onto the polishes!
Crimson Acolyte. One coat over Zoya Izzy, with two coats of top coat.
Dark Angel. Two coats.
Dreamer's Thickett. One coat over Barry M Sugar Apple.
Gravity Lapse. Two coats.
Sookie. One coat over Powder Perfect Turtle Doves.
I have a couple more swatch spams planned for next week while I am waiting for this cut on my finger to heal.

Are you a fan of swatch spams that are of older polishes? I like the trip down memory lane. Plus it's nice to give some love back to them. Maybe I should try and swatch my entire polish collection (the ones that aren't already on my blog). Thoughts?
These are so girgeous & I love the mix of glitters in Crimson Acolyte & Dreamers Thickett. You managed to get such great shots of them too, do you use a macro lens?

Thanks Vicky. No macro lens for me. Hopefully one day. All these pics were actually taken with my phone :)
DeleteI am still waiting for those Opi Burlseque swatches. LOL I love the pink polish, wow!!
ReplyDeleteI know! I haven't forgotten I promise. I have it planned for July 19th. Providing this cut on my finger heals in time I should have the collection swatched and posted. Hopefully it will be all of the polishes but there will definitely be some :)
DeleteFaster healing..eat protien and use A & D ointment. (I am a nurse when I work for money...LOL)
DeleteGet tips. I'll get onto that. ;) I did just pull out the Burlesque Collection from my drawers ready to swatch.
DeleteI just bought a few minis from that collection on Amazon! I have lusted after this collection for ages!!!! So excited for the swatches!!
DeleteI have one of the mini packs as well. It was one of the very first OPIs I purchased. Knowing me I am sure there will be a story to go along with the blog post. It's an awesome collection <3
